Short: fast+good jpeg viewer for DCTV Author: nicolas-dade@uiuc.edu Uploader: nicolas-dade uiuc edu Type: gfx/show Architecture: m68k-amigaos JPEGonDCTV version 1.00, copyright 1994 by Nicolas Dade What is it? It's a jpeg viewer that can display both color and greyscale jpegs using the DCTV display device. Why this one? o It's faster than VT or FastJPEG: for a 640x480 jpeg: JPEGonDCTV 1:07 for color, 4plane interlaced (the usual case) JPEGonDCTV 0:31 for greyscale, 3 plane non-interlaced (a quick fullsize) JPEGonDCTV 0:08 for color preview, 3 plane non-interlaced (a small peek) FastJPEG1.00 1:35 VT1.05 3:10 (times measured on 7.14Mhz 68010 machine w/ ample fastram) o It has a preview mode (that doesn't need thumbnail images) o It handles true greyscale jpegs too. o It outputs directly to the DCTV display, which is a lot prettier than lores interlaced ham6. o The aspect ratio of the image and the aspect ratio of the display mode are obeyed: no more tall faces and oval circles! (Both VT and FastJPEG neglect this completely) o It sanity-checks much more of the jpeg file than VT and FastJPEG do. What do I need? o a DCTV display box. o the dctv.library. This came with your DCTV unless you have an early version. If not, or of you want the newest version, it's available on aminet. o Some jpeg images. :) Nicolas Dade / n9rzb / nicolas-dade@uiuc.edu
